twelve tons of paper, for this city. We

growth of their use for some little time.
The check has been overcome, and the
public are using more and more postal
cards every day-New York Sun.

Steaming Versus Fumigating.

A correspondent in The Garden directs
the attention Of plant and orchid growers
TO the advantages of the practice of boil
ing tobacco Juice in houses for the destruc-
ton of insects over the old practice Of
fumigating. One great advantage is that
the steam does not scald nor discolor the
most tender foliage nor the most delicate
flower: that it can be done without pre-
vious preparation. i. e., drying the foliage,
ETC.: and that the operator can walk
about in the house if necessary during the
operation.

Death Of Col. Appler.
An Old Man With A Good Heart,
But A Sad History!

On Wednesday evening of last
week, Jessie J. Appler died at his res
idence in Portsmouth. Col. Appler
had been identified with the history
of Portsmouth for many years, hav-
ing worked, as a brick mason on many
of the older buildings Of the city. In
1861, he recruited two companies of
men for the three months service, 60
ing to the field as commander Of one
of them. He was a good soldier. At
the expiration of his term of enlist
ment he began recruiting Regiment,
which was organized at Jackson as
the SD Ohio. With this magnificent
Regiment he went to Shiloh, and on
that fatal Sunday morning, when his
Regiment was surprised by thousands
Of Confederate troops, and compelled
to retreat, precipitately, the Col. was
panic-stricken, and fled. This ended
his military career, though it is possi-
BILE that he might have made a good
fighter and successful officer. The
panic which seized him destroyed him.
As soldier he never was spoken of
afterward, save in terms of contempt
or ridicule, and he went down to the
grave saddened by his misfortunes.
Many an officer has had, on the bat
tle-feld, the experience Of Col. Appler
at Shiloh, and made a good record af-
terward. Might it not have been pos
sible for the old man to have retrieved
his lost reputation? At most we can
not avoid tinge Of sorrow for the
unfortunate Col. With all his mis-
takes he was said to have been a kind
hearted, industrious man, and good
citizen

What a truly beautiful world we
live in! Nature gives US grandeur Of
mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands Of means of enjoyment. We
can desire no better when in perfect
health; but how often do the majority
of people feel like giving it up dis
heartened, discouraged and worn out
with disease, when there is no occasion
for this feeling, as every sufferer can
easily obtain satisfactory proof, that
GREEN'S august Floaoer, will make
them free from disease, as when born.
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint are
the direct causes Of seventy-fve per
cent. of such maladies as Biliousness,
Indigestion, Sick Headache, Costive-
ness, Nervous Prostration, Dizziness

and other distressing symptoms. Three
doses of august Flo,0er will prove its
wonderful effect. Sample bottles, 10

the source of all action, and only as eve
lay the ak to the root of the tree" by
training up those now of small stature
among US, can we make their influence
weigh, for good or for evil The great
forces of Nature are invisible, and work
below the surface of things, and that
which is most real is unseen. So it is
with our little church. Silently but sure
ly she is shaping and moulding our neigh
borhood to what we see here-a neigh
borhood free from those crimes and vices
which daily our newspapers make us so
painfully aware of elsewhere. Not only
do we note this benefcent influence, but
it is the tabernacle from which has been
handed down to us, the universal law of
brotherhood. It is the rallying place,
around which, when we throw off the
anxieties of the week day labor, we meet
to renew our acquaintance. 1t is the
centripetal force which holds us together
in a single community. 1t is the taber-
nacle in the wilderness around which we
pitch our tents that we may not be dis
persed, as we'll as the pillar of fire which
is to lead us to the land "beyond the cold
waves of Jordan" Brethren let us ne
glect not "the assembling of ourselves to-
gether as the manner of some is"
We cannot lift the veil of futurity, but
long may the prayers of Gods people as
cend up through the Sabbath stiffness
here, to the ear of Him on high. We keep
burning on our Altar no sacred fire, as in
the tabernacle of old, yet may the last dy-
ing embers of old Emory's zeal and devo-
tion never be seen to yield up their fad
ing light until "Thy kingdom come and
Thy will be done," or until the tomb it
self shall yield up it's inmate, to become a
dweller in the skies.
